Proquest BannerDoing your research in this class will require you to search multiple complex databases on two different platforms, EBSCO and Proquest. I'm guessing most of you will have encountered an EBSCO database before, at least once, maybe in your CTW class. But, you may not have had the pleasure of working with Proquest. So, I am going to introduce you through a tutorial, linked below. Getting the most out of any of these databases you will need to use is not an easy thing. They are full of valuable resources but they are not particularly friendly. It is very, very, very easy to conclude that what you need is not in there but yet it is!
